A superb album highlighting the very best of Danny Williams. Includes the number one single 'Moon River' which Nat King Cole refused to record because he said that "Danny's version could never be bettered". The album is full of great ballads and swing classics including 'Stay As Sweet As You Are', 'Autumn Leaves', 'Every Time We Say Goodbye', 'Fly Me To The Moon', and 'Portrait of My Love'. This album was compiled by Danny who sadly died in December 2005.

Ronnie Hilton was one of the most successful British ballad singers of the 1950s and, unlike many of his contemporaries, he continued to have hits after the arrival of rock'n'roll. He was so popular that when the BBC wanted a host for their 1990s radio series Sounds of the Fifties Ronnie was the obvious choice. Ronnie Hilton was an important part of 1950s Britain - as the NME noted at the end of that decade, "Right from the start, he has given us a string of captivating and easily memorised songs, which have had the entire nation whistling and singing". A well deserved epitaph for one of the great British balladeers.

Bobby Darin is one of the only artist to have success in the rock'n'roll, pop, jazz, country, R&B and easy listening fields.

This wonderful collection features some of his finest and coveted moments. Bobby Darin may be gone, but thanks to his recordings, which have introduced him to each new generation of music fans and inspired countless artists who have followed in his wide wake, he's never really gone away.
